Sennheiser HD 565 Ovation Replacement sugestions

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hi all this is my first post here :)

 

As the title suggests, I have an old pair of 565's that are on their last legs in many regards tho they still sound great when I can get both ears working - and I want to replace them / upgrade to a better set if possible.

 

I am no audiophile, my knowledge is fairly limited, so can someone who has had the 565's or knows about them suggest which more modern Sennheizers sound closest to the 565s?

 

I dont even have a headphone amp- tho I guess I could spend a few hundred in the future on one if i had to- but I'd rather a pair that will sound great just plugging straight into my seperate CD player like my 565's.

 

I heard the 595 might be nearest match and the 598s sound brighter?  Or maybe the 650's? But tho my CD player does fine for the 150? impedence 565's, I guess it wouldnt do very well with the 650s without an amp?

 

On another note.. its probably hard to find 595s now i guess?

Hmm, I think the HD600 would be a good fit for you.  The HD580/600/650 share design bits from the old HD535/545/565 line.  The HD600 will be a bit brighter along with presenting more musical detail, bass and overall refinement while still keeping that typical slightly laid-back Sennheiser sound.  If your CD player handled the HD565, it should be fine with the HD600.

 

As for the HD595, you can still find it available on sites like Amazon.  Welcome to Head-fi by the way!  So sorry about your wallet.smily_headphones1.gif
